by now the word is out that both atlanta and the steelers our hot for are pick.so say we trade with atlanta and they gave us there first second and fourth rd picks.one would you make the trade and second would you select ras i dowling at 27 he is the clear 4th corner in this draft.then we could grab both wisniewski and either carter if he is still on the board or the wr gates.

the problem there is jimmy smith is not getting past the ravens.trust me dowling aint no slouch.reminds me alot of darrell carter.

I fully realize that the trade value chart is not a perfect indicator of anything, but if you calculate the points, the Falcons would need to give up their 2, 3, and 4 in order to move from #27 to #13. Mayhew may not be offered that deal by Atlanta but hopefully that would be his counter offer. A compromise could easily end with the Lions getting the 2nd and 3rd in addition to #27. I know it's not a perfect science but if the Falcons want to jump that high, they have to know the price will be steep.

Of course all of that will hinge on whether or not their guy is available at #13. If they want Julio Jones, I think he'll be gone.
